ok i have a AUTO 04 rx8 stock....i took the front of the airbox off to make it sound better....but im wanting to get alot more power out of it and im wondering what i should do....exauhst costs an arm and a leg....and intake....but what else can u really do to an automatic???

 

Forced Induction is the only way to get noticeable gains on any RX-8.

Also, prepare to get flamed to all hell, that's the same question every single newbie who doesn't search first asks.

 

dude sorry to bust your bubble, but you aint gonna get SQUAT from just an intake and exhuast...the ONLY way to get A LOT more power is to go FI, supercharger or turbo....

as for N/A, your gonna need a good tune using the AP, + intake, exhuast, midpipe, to free up some ~10 HP...other than that, your best bet is getting some lighter rims and stickier tires...

 

if hes saying an exhaust cost an arm and a leg...im pretty sure FI is waaaay out of his price range as well lol...

 

FI will cost your life!!

 

does not compute.

I'm curious as hell.........you said you took the front of you airbox off.....what exactly does that mean? Has it been that long since I've seen a stock airbox?????

 

I think he means the bottom part not the part you see when lookiing in the bottom part! I'm not positive though

To the OP exhaust are not an arm and a leg unless u consider 300-700 an arm and a leg however there are plenty of exhaust over 1k bucks anyway as said above FI is teh best way to go(however will cost u your life at LEAST 3K for used) you could always do the stock airbox DIY knock out the inside of the cat! things like that

 

Nitrous would be cheaper then a turbo and would produce noticeable gains, but will still cost more then a proper intake.

From what I've heard from people who are smarter then me, the airbox is pretty well designed for high flow. Intakes just change the sound of the engine.

 

 

the stock airbox is plenty proper.

 

If you don't have the turbonator, get it.

 

^OH dude thats WRONG on sooo many levels

 

LOL!

But it has proven gains! Check their website!

 

uhhhhh yeah, and i have a v6 under the hood

 

Yeah, I was thinking of swapping my renny for the 6-cylinder rotary .

I hear that they added Vtec to it.

 

OH YOU DIDNT KNOW



YO *** BETTER CALL SOMEONE!

 

I see a broken shaft in that that rotary's future

 

I'd cry myself to sleep if I had enough money for that 39B... 0_o

 

dont be jealous, at the fact that, that shaft is bigger than yours

 

^haha what mileage does that 6 rotor get half a miles to the gallon....i'd have to fill up everyother block haha but it would b crazy ffast!!!!!

 

6 rotor gets 4 gallons per mile.

 

gpm ... i like that

 

^ oh ok now i understand where can i pick one of those bad boys up? just any local garage will have them right? haha

 

mmmmmm sooo many rotors....
